According to the police three men entered the property from a dilapidated building next door and surprised the woman, who was in the kitchen at the time. Lt Raymond Deokaran, spokesman for the station, said when police arrived, they were greeted by a grisly scene.

“Her daughter who heard her mom’s terrifying screams, and saw two of the men run after her. She locked herself up in one of the rooms and called the police. A Blue Security van patrolling the area, spotted the suspects fleeing the home and gave chase, however the men scattered into the nearby bushes surrounding the M4,” he said.
Deokaran added the K9 unit are currently trying to track the men down.
